Summer fun...

Sorry it's been so long... here are some pictures from summer.. some from the beach and some just goofing off. As sad as we are to see summer go, we are really excited about autumn because that brings cooler weather, football, beautiful colors, Halloween and less grass cutting :)

I'm a soccer mom..

Yeah, so Lilly has decided that she doesn't want to partake in dance any longer, but she wants to play soccer with John Thomas. So tonight was Lilly's first soccer practice since we started a week late!! She did really good, with the exception that she feels the need to pick up the ball and carry it with her, it's much efficient to her!! Haha!! I can't say I blame her, I've never played soccer, well maybe that's because I am clumsy.. hmmm :) Well anyway we absolutely adore her coach, he's really sweet and take up so much time with them. Oh and did I meantion that it's just her and one other little girl on the team, so of course she eats this up, she's the team mom!! Enjoy these pictures, I will get more, maybe tomorrow, since we they have 2 a week schedule set up.... Look for some action pictures this fall as we start playing games, I am excited although I know NOTHING about soccer!!! :)

The adventures of Lilly & ballet

So Lilly has recently started a mix of ballet, tap and jazz. Her first class was last Tuesday and I wasn't completely sure she was going to take to it very quickly. She's nothing like Jason and I, she's super shy around people that she doesn't know very well. The girl that teaches the class opened the door to take them into the studio and Lilly jumped up and was like the 2nd kid through the door.. who would've thought little shy Lilly would evolve into a social butterfly so quickly? So they go into the studio and dance around for 45 minutes then get a little bitty tootsie roll and you would've thought Lilly won a million bucks. She was so excited to tell us about singing and dancing, she was just beside her little self. It was so sweet and I must admit she surprised me by the whole situation :) She's growing up so fast, it's nuts to think she'll be, dare I say it, 4 in December. WOW how time flies when you are having fun, huh? Here are some new picture for you to enjoy of her playing dress up!! She's such a girly girl! :)

I'm a slacker..

I am aware! :) Sorry I don't update this like I should, the way we are always in 50 different directions everyday it's hard to find time. Everything has been going well for us, we've had some hiccups in the road, but nothing we can't overcome!! Easter was wonderful, Lilly went to big church with us that morning and actually was an angel, much to our surprise. She was well behaved and even loved to sing about Jesus being alive (I was very impressed she got something out of the service and remembered it!). But don't let your imaginations run wild just yet thinking we have an angel all the time, because that's nuts. She's developed this attitude that's killing us. Just the other night Jason was asking her something that she apparently felt he should know the answer to because she got her breath hard, told him the answer and then said, "Duh, Daddy." I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep my composure, and I was certain Jason might beat her, so I quickly try to make light of the situation by asking her where she's heard that, because I'm thinking that she's not a child of the 90's, and she politely replied, "My Pawpaw." It was at the moment I saw a vision of my daddy putting his palm to his forehead saying DUH when someone didn't know a common sense answer in my head. It was one of the priceless memories I'll never forget!! She's very smart and therefore that tends to get her into trouble more than we'd like. Her teacher told me just yesterday that she didn't have an attitude, but that she was a lot more mature than the other kids in her class (by the way, they are all about turn 4 or already 4) and that she was just a little bossy.... All I could think was DUH, she's related to my mom! :) Haha

Short lived snow days in Mississippi..

Here are all the pictures from our fun snow day. It only snows in Mississippi like once in every 10 years.. but Lilly's broken tradition, this is her second snow in her little 3 years. Here's a few to enjoy...

Christmas, a smidgen late...

Sorry... I know it's been a while since my last post.. haha a long while!! :) I guess that I should start with Christmas, huh? Christmas was a fabulous time this year. Lilly's at the age where Santa is the greatest person ever! "He" cleaned her room to make room for all the new unnecessary toys "he" brought and she thought that was the greatest thing ever. Here are some pictures to update y'all..

Happy Halloween... about a month late!

Sorry I'm a little late.. with Bubba's accident (which he's doing very well, thanks for everyone asking) and everything else I have going on everyday, I've been a slacker to this cute little blog I was becoming so good at! Here are some pictures from the Pumpkin Patch and Halloween.. enjoy! I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!
